We’ve got two more matches for the upcoming Ring Of Honor (ROH) 17th Anniversary pay-per-view.
This week, ROHWrestling.com released the following announcement:
Jeff Cobb’s ROH World TV Title Is On The Line Against Shane Taylor At 17th Anniversary
Las Vegas is known for big fights and bright lights, so what better city for The Best Wrestling on the Planet to celebrate its birthday in? On March 15 at Sam’s Town Live in Sin City, Ring of Honor presents its 17th Anniversary show live on pay-per-view and for HonorClub VIP.
The show takes place three weeks before the historic G1 Supercard at sold-out Madison Square Garden, so what happens at 17th Anniversary in Vegas will not stay in Vegas; the ramifications will surely be felt at The World’s Most Famous Arena in New York City on April 6.
As first announced on the latest episode of “Ring of Honor Wrestling,” ROH World Television Champion Jeff Cobb will defend his title against Shane Taylor at 17th Anniversary.
ROH WORLD TELEVISION TITLE MATCH
CHAMPION JEFF COBB vs. SHANE TAYLOREver since Taylor pushed Cobb to the limit in a non-title match last fall, the big man from the mean streets of East Cleveland has been obsessed with getting Cobb back in the ring, but with the title on the line this time. Not only has Taylor been racking up victories, but he also has gotten Cobb’s attention by jumping him every chance he can.
At Honor Reigns Supreme in January, Taylor was supposed to compete in a Proving Ground Instant Reward Match also involving Cobb, Jonathan Gresham and Rhett Titus, but Taylor said before the bout that it was disrespectful for him to have to wrestle in a Proving Ground Match, and he walked out. After Cobb prevailed, Taylor returned and attacked the champion from behind. During a recent episode of “Ring of Honor Wrestling,” Taylor again attacked Cobb and left him lying after hitting Greetings From 216.
Cobb has been dominant since steamrolling Punishment Martinez in under 90 seconds to win the ROH World Television Title in September in his first match in ROH, but he undoubtedly will have his hands full with Taylor, one of the few competitors in ROH who can match Cobb’s power and killer instinct.
